Soundgarden to reunite in 2010

Singer Chris Cornell has announced that Soundgarden will be reuniting after having split up in April 1997, almost 13 years ago. The group is still deciding among offers from several major festivals, but are planning a tour schedule, which will be set in place after drummer Matt Cameron finishes his prior engagements with Pearl Jam.

Since the breakup, bassist Ben Shepherd has kept busy with other bands, including the side project Hater, which released an album The 2nd in 2005.
